The Cuban squad got fine work from MVP Drake (.455, .500 SLG, 9 R, 4 SB) and outfield mate Minnie Minoso (.391, 5 R, 7 RBI). C Hal Smith (.273) drove in seven but the offense was primarily a two-man job; they still led the low-scoring Series with 27 runs (in six games, they only homered once). Their 3 errors and .987 fielding percentage were clearly the best - every other team had at least 10 miscues. Bunning (2-0, 8 H in 14 2/3 IP) was the pitching star.

For Panama, a surprisingly strong second place finish was led by Winston Brown (2-0, 1 R, 9 H in 18 IP) and George Brunet (1-1, 17 K in 15 1/3 IP, the first pitcher in Series history to whitewash a Puerto Rican outfit) on the mound. 1B Harold Gordon hit .412. Panama only scored 14 runs in their six games, yet split them thanks to their fine pitching.

Mayaguez had no undefeated pitchers other than Santiago, who only appeared in his gem against Cuba. 1B Bob Speake (.391, .652 SLG, 5 RBI) and OF Canena Marquez (.375, .792 SLG, 2 HR, 5 R) guided the offense.
